Data residency
Answer in brief
Data residency is the place where your data is stored and processed, as stated or committed to by the provider.
Data residency in practice
Residency covers more than the machine. Network volumes, snapshots, backups and logs each have a place, and it is not always the region you chose.
A region label states residency for the machine. A sentence in the terms or the data processing agreement commits to it. Ask for the sentence when your own contracts fix location.
